Sand and water the primordial sensations of a caress with the warm ground and the elusive contact with the water that you cannot lift without it escaping. 
The sand that we touch, hold in our hands and wait for it to slowly fall brings us the sensations of a solid and tangible world but inevitably linked to the most elusive element with which we seek equal contact: water.
Exciting at every stage of life because you can't grab or squeeze her while she lifts you up, cradles you silently or pushes you violently and then grabs you again and drags you into her foam. The charm of water so ephemeral in our hands yet tangible on the skin.
The Ocean with its immensity, the silence of a life immersed in an abyss where the sound is linked to the song of the whales to the light lapping, where the noise is muffled, and an apparent stillness makes it seem slow and silent, when instead life thrives with its monstrous cycles and amazing harmony.
This sensation of immensity, ungovernability and serene silence inspires these large canvases, which inspire meditation and restore the soul by bringing the spirit back to a primordial stillness.
I didn't have to worry about defining the sky, the sea or the sand, but thinking exclusively about the sensation of immersion and relationship with color and atmosphere.
I used quartz sand to define the irregularities of the surface or material strokes with the spatula, so that it is the light or the position of the observer that creates new games and different perspectives depending on the time of day or the angle of the person observe.
The idea is to convey the movement, the sensation not an iconic vision of the ocean, but a message that awakens stillness, silence and vital belonging to a safe place: our ancestral environment.
